When help is much needed ... it doesn't really cost anything to be there for them ... Does it ?
Angel's Touch was created by My-SECRET-Corner to raise funds for a chosen charity anytime of the year. Items
like key chains, wine charms, beaded earrings created with Angel themes are being sold with 100% of the sales directly saved
into the charity fund.
The
List of Beneficiaries : ( Past & Present )
DECEMBER 2009 - Donate SGD$5.00 or more and get either a pair of Angel
Inspired earrings ( Designs varies ) , a key chain or an Angel charmed phone strap as a token of appreciation
for your generosity.
The
proceeds would go to My-SECRET-Corner's"ANGEL'S TOUCH" fund campaign that would benefit ( for the month of December
2009 ) the poor flood evacuees in Sta. Cruz Laguna, Philippines who were gravely affected by the previous typhoons
Ketsana & Santi .
I was
originally from this province . I was born here as well as all my siblings . Santa Cruz is a 1st class urban municipality in the province of Laguna, Philippines. It is also the capital town of the province
of Laguna and considered as the service and commercial center on the eastern part of the province
I
had visited the area after the devastation to check on my mom and son's living situation. I came home hurriedly just
after the said typhoons flooded our small bungalow house . I had moved my family to a different place few days after
my arrival to make sure they're safe when it rains.
My house
was also not spared by the past typhoons and water was waist deep inside it destroying all my wooden furnitures. I'm just
happy that my mother & son were safe despite of what had happened. They were fortunate compared to people whose
houses and way of living were strapped away from them by the gushing waters of the overflowing river of the said province.
Some were extremely unlucky loosing the lives of loved ones. It was really so heartbreaking. Even just to see these poor people
living presently in makeshift tents in open basketball courts and school grounds with small children without any belongings
except for what they were wearing would cause your eyes to swell from non stop crying. I had seen the evacuees from a
distance and couldn't come closer coz I felt so bad to come near them and got nothing to offer them I told myself that one
day I would be back there to lend them a hand when I'm ready to do so. With hope and determination , I'll be there soon for
sure !
I
just couldn't bear the sight of the evacuees crowding in one site. This memory of them gave me
the push when I got back here in Singapore ~ to do something for them to at least ease their sufferings somehow . On
my own, I started organizing a fund drive called :
" ANGEL'S TOUCH "
I
made 60 pairs of Angel inspired earrings, a few keychains & phones straps to start with. The items
were designed with different Angel charms I have in stock.
So far,
I had sold all the 60 pairs and a few other things just by attending a charity dinner & dance at the Hilton
Hotel, attending my friends' parties and selling them in other venues like at the recently held Sporty Joe's
Sportsfest, selling to the staff members of EZoo Music School , NKF Singapore Office Personnels , clientele of Lazy Lizard
Pub as well as sales online via facebook ). The support was overwhelming !
This
week , I had sent the partial payment for a few sacks of rice to be distributed among the people living in the school grounds.
Presently,
I had made more Angel items Hoping I can sell more so more funds for relief goods can reach these poor people before
Christmas ... If you feel like joining me for my cause, please let me know @ taszel14@my-secret-corner.com
I extend my sincerest gratitude to the donors
who supported the Fund Raising for our disaster-stricken countrymen.
